If Janay didn’t want to be knocked out maybe she shouldn’t have escalated the situation to a violent one

i don’t believe in violence period, regardless of gender it is wrong to hit another person

mortonsen is reporting she hit him in the face several times before he punched her in the face and she hit her head on the railing and got knocked out. sounds like self defense to me

Anyway, we can’t say he hit her or”knocked her out” because the video didn’t show that. Everyone that actually knows what happened has felt it appropriate to give Rice an equivalent of a warning. But I get it, you, who knows nothing, knows better. Proceed.

If the video showed Janay Parker as the aggressor, who would leak it? Not Ray Rice. Not the NFL. Not the casino.

The video has not been leaked.

What regular person has a morality cause for their day to day business? Rice gets suspended 2 games and loses a check for a third for hitting a woman, Roethliesburger gets suspended 4 games just getting accused of an action. The “court” of the NFL doesn’t follow the same court the rest of us are held accountable for.

You have to blame the Ravens for something because since day 1 all they have been saying is that Rice wouldn’t do that, Rice is a model citizen, there is more to the story…….blah blah blah. It would have been better for Harbaugh and Newsome just to say “no comment”.

—

Ozzie Newsome “We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is and he is determined to make sure something like this never happens again.”

John Harbaugh, “He makes a mistake, alright? He’s going to have to pay a consequence. I think that’s good for kids to understand it works that way. That’s how it works, that’s how it should be.”

Tell me how the Ravens are denying this ever happened. They are supporting a man who needs help, making him pay the consequences given to him, and helping make sure this never happens again.

Leave the organization out of this when its an individual’s mistake. You want to lash out on an organization, go bash Cleveland for their owner committing criminal fraud and paying his way out of federal indictment. But that’s another story, one which you are too ignorant to see most likely.

Scumbags run the ravens so scumbags play for the ravens and a lot of their fans are scumbags. However this didn’t start with Ricebut with Lewis. It’s in their DNA

You do realize Baltimore could discipline Ray on their own as well. Don’t make it sound like The Ravens are powerless and are just an innocent bystander in this matter.

The suspension is a joke and it’s sending the completely wrong message and I don’t care about the whole first offense crap. When you knock a woman out and you essentially get a slap on the wrist it’s wrong. Period.

Don’t blame the Ravens, blame the NFL. They have a history of light punishments for domestic abuse.
If you’re going to boycott anything, boycott watching any NFL games and boycott the NFL entirely.

Can you do that?

You hit a woman so hard you knock her out – 2 game suspension?! I know the court system is a joke, but goodell is the real clown. I’m willing to bet Goodell comes to work in a tiny car and 10 people pile out of it. Absolute joke.

The NFL devotes an entire month to woman’s breast cancer and flowers the games with pink but they basically slap a guy on the wrist for punching out a woman in a public place.

Fri, 25 Jul 2014 13:55:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270124#comment-3496729…”has become a matter of public concern.” Really? How is this a matter of public concern? Just because you are obsessed with everything to do with the NFL doesn’t mean this is a matter of public concern. If it was the President or a Governor, then it would be a matter of public concern. This is just you being nosy.

I really enjoy the NFL. Professional football is great. Still the best game out there to watch. But, keep things in perspective. Mr. Rice likely did a bad thing. The court system meted out what they felt was appropriate punishment. They were the ones who have the right to see any video evidence. Not you. This is a simple case of battery- or, maybe, self defense. Not our concern. Just because people play football doesn’t mean they give up all of the rights the rest of us enjoy.

There is also talk that the city of Baltimore will be giving Ray the key to the city for all of his hard work on learning how to treat women correctly.

God-ell and company should be very embarrassed on how they handled this situation. God-ell should be suspended for two weeks. He’s a terrible commissioner.

Fri, 25 Jul 2014 13:21:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270124#comment-3496617Goodell’s thought process and suspensions are beyond ridiculous at this point. The sure fact that a guy who beat his fiance and there is video evidence of said encounter gets a two game suspension, and Robert Mathis, a guy who took some fertility drugs so that his family could welcome a child into the world gets 4 games?

What is this saying to the youth here in America? These players are idols to kids and you are basically telling them its ok to hit a woman and you will get a slap on the wrist.

Then you have guys like Josh Gordon, who as a Browns fan I’ll admit has put himself in the position he is in, but if the reports are true that he in fact only missed a test while out of the country and didnt fail, and he gets a year, that will just add another awful Goodell decision to the list.

Mark Cuban was right in that Goodell is going to be the downfall of what we all know as the best sport in the world. Take notes on what Adam Silver is doing in the NBA Roger, you are beyond outrageous and corrupt.

What if she’s the one who’s yelling and hitting him? If they have kids at some point (not sure if they do now), would you, as a father want to be the reason that tape is out there?

One tape is enough. The people who make decisions have seen it and passed judgement.

Obviously the prosecution saw the tape, and they didn’t think jail time or a trial was even needed. So show the tape so you all can stop complaining about repeat offenders getting suspended more than 2 games.

Fri, 25 Jul 2014 12:51:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270124#comment-3496550In order to become a repeat offender one must first do something. Being accused of something doesn’t mean they did something. Rice was arrested and put into pretrial intervention, that alone should carry more than 2 games. Ben never arrested or been to trial got 6 games reduced to 4. This suspension is a joke.

Gordon is getting a year because he is a repeat offender but how long do first timers get? Domestic abuse should be longer without a doubt.

Big Ben sexually assaulted a woman (prob worse than physical assault) and is still embraced by his team.

Both players are top-performers at their position.

If Ray Rice has a high-performace season in 2014, that will take care of everything.

Fair? Maybe not. But that’s the way it is.

Can’t wait for this story to fizzle out and on we go to the media’s next target.

Roethlisberger’s’s punsihment fit the crime(s) too. The investigaiton was immediately follwoing another rape accusation. It was becoming a pattern. At the time he was becoming a serial dirtbag.
Glad both these guys appear to be cleaning up their acts. Hopefully they can both become model citizens like Ray Lewis did in the aftermath of the obstruiction of justice incident.
